2. Free Download & Renewal of Kaspersky Anti-Virus Software

The University has acquired an anti-virus software campus site license from Kaspersky Lab since 2008. By acquiring the license, all CUHK staff and students are entitled to install one copy of Kaspersky Anti-Virus on one of your computers (either Mac or Windows PC) at home or hostel.

First Time Users
For first time installation, you need to download:
1. A program file (either for Mac or Windows PC);
2. A configuration file; and
3. A license key (file name: 419CF78C.KEY) which is valid until mid-Oct 2016.
Before installing Kaspersky, you are advised to uninstall any existing anti-virus software on your computer, as it may cause conflict and failure in installation.

Existing Users
For existing users, remember to renew your anti-virus before it is expired. You only need to download and add the new license key (file name: 419CF78C.KEY) which extends the expiration date for one more year.

Note to Win 10 Users
The current version of Kaspersky DOES NOT support Win 10. Kaspersky Lab plans to release a version compatible with Windows 10 in Q4 2015. If you are looking for an anti-virus solution, please consider Windows Defender that is a bundled anti-virus solution in Win 10.
